Grasping and assembly are essential tasks in high-precision robotic manipulation for
industrial manufacturing as well as for home service applications. Many efforts have been …

A sense of touch is essential for amputees to reintegrate into their social and work life. The
design of the next generation of the prostheses will have the ability to effectively convey the …

Endowing tactile feedback for prosthetic hands is profound for upper‐limb amputees.
However, existing prosthetic hands are generally not in possession of the embedded …

Tactile feedback is of great significance for amputees to improve the controllability of
prosthetic hands and obtain tactile information regarding the interacting objects, which …

The use of vibrotactile feedback is of growing interest in the field of prosthetics, but few
devices fully integrate this technology in the prosthesis to transmit high-frequency contact …

Commercially available prosthetic hands do not convey any tactile information, forcing
amputees to rely solely on visual attention. A promising solution to this problem is haptics …

This study presents the characterization and validation of the VIBES, a wearable vibrotactile
device that provides high-frequency tactile information embedded in a prosthetic socket. A …

Electrohydrostatic actuators (EHAs), as a class of pump-controlled hydraulic actuators, are
known for energy efficiency and easy maintainability. Thus, they can be widely used in the …

As humans, our grasping and manipulation skills are highly dependent on our ability to
perceive tactile properties. Conversely, most of today's robotic operations still rely …
